The Advocacy Program

Advocates are the missing voice in housing policy.

Policy decisions being made right now will shape homeownership for the next generation. FirstHome IQ Advocates are housing professionals who believe the people closest to buyers belong in that conversation. Publicly. Visibly.

We take this to Washington.

We've partnered with the Mortgage Bankers Association to bring loan officers to Capitol Hill at the MBA's National Advocacy Conference, so first-time buyers have someone speaking for them there. This April, 60+ mortgage professionals made the trip.

Signups for next year open in September. Advocates hear first.

The Movement

Advocates in every state. That's the goal.

Find Advocates near you, or see who's standing up for first-time buyers in your state.

The Pledge

What Advocates stand for.

Affordability

Every aspiring homeowner deserves a realistic path to ownership.

Financial Literacy

Homebuyer education should be the standard. 82% of NextGen buyers never learned financial literacy in school, and that changes through policy, through practice, and through the professionals who guide them.

Equitable Access

Credit pathways should work for everyone, especially the communities historically left out of homeownership.

Sign It

Become a FirstHome IQ Advocate.

Advocacy is free, and it starts with visibility. As an Advocate you'll receive shareable, data-backed content for your market, policy updates that affect your borrowers, and campaign activations when it's time to act.

You'll also join a visible community of professionals standing up for first-time buyers, on your platform and, when you're ready, on Capitol Hill.

The Advocate Pledge

I stand for affordability, financial literacy, and equitable access to homeownership.

We email you the Advocate welcome pack, and it's yours to keep.

Be the missing voice

Your state needs a voice.

We're building a map of Advocates across the country. Whether your state has five or you'd be the first, you're part of a growing movement of professionals standing up for first-time buyers.
